There are some very large areas of heavy cloud out in the Caribbean, one such strip is crossing central Belize at present, causing significant rain from Sandhill down to Dangriga, Belmopan got 25mm ( 1" ) of rain. This should reduce by midday, but has been aggravated by a line of westerly high level cloud exactly on top of it. There could be more rain for other parts of Belize this afternoon when more heavy Caribbean cloud comes in.

Looks like today will be a patchy day, some areas heavy cloud and still more rain, some north and south areas having significant sun, but could have more rain later today.
